Hi,  I have an Excel (Windows) one that is based on Smart’s formulae as 
reported by Jan Meuss.  This is simpler (!) than Meuss’s ‘better’ one but 
nevertheless it is accurate to a maximum of 4 secs and usually to within 1 sec. 
 The spreadsheet calculates all leap year days every year but in years without 
a leap year the values for the 29th Feb and 1 Mar show the same.

In 2012 I made an accurate comparison of this formula with the true one (not 
against Meuss’s higher accuracy formula) and the error curve was this:



Not sure this is what you might be looking for but if you’d like this just say.

Hello,

Can you provide a free accurate spreadsheet for the calculation of daily solar 
declination across a leap year as well as non-leap year?

Thanks,

Dan Uza
